👋 Hey folks! As mentioned above, the data-set is from bugguide.net. Data can be parsed as JSON. Access to the bugs.verfasor.com doesn't require a token-based authentication. Please use it for development and testing only. And kindly avoid sending too many requests to Vercel, who's hosting the REST API. 👉 Visit https://github.com/verfasor/Insecta 👇 Example queries White space between the words are fine, mmkay. 🔐 General query GET https://bugs.verfasor.com/api?q=Soldier%20Beetle. 🔐 Query a Common Name GET https://bugs.verfasor.com/api?q=Soldier%20Beetle 🔐 Query a Genus GET https://bugs.verfasor.com/api?Genus=Chauliognathus 🔐 Query Species GET https://bugs.verfasor.com/api?Species=pensylvanicus 🔐 Query a Family GET https://bugs.verfasor.com/api?Family=Cantharidae 🔐 Query an Order GET https://bugs.verfasor.com/api?Order=Coleoptera. 🔐 Query a Bug Guide ID GET https://bugs.verfasor.com/api?BugGuideID=438 🔐 Query combination and filter GET https://bugs.verfasor.com/api?Order=Coleoptera&q=beetle 🐍 Python script I've created an example Python script to fetch random data at once. Available at: https://github.com/verfasor/Insecta/blob/master/random-bug.py 🐜 Disclaimer The Insects JSON REST API is actually in the alpha stage, which implies that "bugs" and issues may still remain undiscovered until this phase of testing is complete. The alpha stage also means that the data may be corrupted, is not 100% validated or complete, and is subject to change. Finally, services may have downtime and the API schemas and calls are subject to change
